Lost Blues & Other Songs was the first compilation Oldham released. The collection rounds up many of the Palace singles and B sides long with some unreleased recordings. The debut Palace Brothers single: "Ohio River Boat Song" is included as is Oldham’s version of Sally Timms of The Mekons song "Horses". Although a cover "Horses" is one of the definitive Palace songs. Oldham’s voice wavers with an intensity he saves for more emotional lyrics and an extraordinary guitar solo by David Pajo cuts through the rest of the song with a delightfully unhinged aggression (Oldham had asked Pajo to play a solo that sounded like Slash).
